Wonderwall
Oasis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you shoulda somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now
Backbeat, the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how
'Cause maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you shoulda somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now
And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how
I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall
I said maybe (I said maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall
I said maybe (I said maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (that saves me)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (that saves me)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (that saves me)
The song "Wonderwall" by Oasis is a nostalgic, yearning love song that is universally hailed as a timeless classic. The lyrics conjure up a past love that has never truly been forgotten, despite the passing of time, and reflect the desire to rekindle that love. The song is built around a simple, yet effective chord progression and features the unmistakable singing style of Liam Gallagher.
The opening lines of "Today is gonna be the day, That they're gonna throw it back to you" suggests that the singer is at a point in his life where he is ready to confront the past and perhaps try to reconnect with an old flame. The chorus repeats the phrase "Wonderwall", which acts as a metaphor for the person who is seen as a potential savior, the one who can make everything right again. The line "I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now" is especially poignant, as it highlights the idea that no one else could possibly understand or relate to the depth of his emotions.

Today is gonna be the day
Today could be the day of a big change in your life
That they're gonna throw it back to you
That someone is going to give you a chance to show who you are
By now you should've somehow
At this point, you should have already understood what you need to do
Realized what you gotta do
Understood what you have to do to move forward
I don't believe that anybody
I think that nobody else
Feels the way I do, about you now
Feels the same way I do about you right now
Backbeat, the word was on the street
There's a rumor going around
That the fire in your heart is out
That you've lost your passion
I'm sure you've heard it all before
I bet you've been told this many times
But you never really had a doubt
But you've always been confident in yourself
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
The paths we have to take are not straightforward
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
The opportunities that come along can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate
There are many things that I
There are a lot of things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how
I want to tell you things but I struggle to express them
Because maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
Perhaps you will be the person who helps me when I need it most
And after all, you're my wonderwall
Ultimately, you are the one who keeps me safe, and who I rely on
Today was gonna be the day
Today should have been the day that changed everything
But they'll never throw it back to you
But that chance won't come around again
By now you should've somehow
At this point, you were supposed to have realized
Realized what you're not to do
Understood what actions to avoid making progress
I don't believe that anybody
I do not think that anyone
Feels the way I do, about you now
Has the same kind of feelings as I do right now
I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
I only hope that you will be the one to help me find my way
And after all, you're my wonderwall
The one person I rely on, who protects and shields me from life's troubles
You're gonna be the one that saves me
I believe it's you who can help me when I most need it
You're gonna be the one that saves me
I still believe that you will help me when I need it

@ROCKSOLID19
It is impossible to get bored with Oasis. I can listen to them all day, everyday. The only band that achieves this for me, I hope its the same for you.
